in reply to Pugs compilation problem

My guess is that your GHC version is 6.2, and from what I remember, Pugs really wants GHC 6.4.1 or higher. Also, usually, #perl6 on [irc://freenode/perl6] has a quicker turnaround that Perlmonks for Pugs development questions. It also might be that you just received a bad/broken version of Pugs and that the next svn release fixes the problem.

    Thanks, but I have the latest ghc 6.4-7. I've tried asking this twice on IRC, and did not get much help outside of "check out the latest version".

      I don't think 6.4-7 is the latest version. I say that because fedora-haskell gives the release date of 6.4-7 as 11-May-2005 while the release date of 6.4.1 is 19-Sep-2005. AFAICT, the Fedora Haskell Project is a bit behind the latest GHC versions. Anyway, I'm running Fedora core 4 and used the "Generic Linux with glibc 2.3" ghc-6.4.1-i386-unknown-linux.tar.bz2 tarball and it worked fine for me.

        The fedora-haskell project is for Haskell-releated RPMs that are not yet included in the more official Fedora repositories. GHC recently made the move into the Fedora Extras repo, and there you will find an up-to-date GHC 6.4.1. A simple "yum update ghc" ought to bring the earlier poster up to date.

        The older version of GHC, however, remains in the fedora-haskell repo for historical purposes.

        Cheers,
